Figure 5.
The effect of cholesterol is specific. Mixed GM1/SM (1:1, mol:mol), GM1/POPC (1:1, mol:mol), or GM1/POPC/cholesterol (2:1:1, mol:mol:mol) were prepared and probed with Aβ5-16 (10 μM) injected in the aqueous subphase. The data show the evolution of the surface pressure as a function of time following peptide injection underneath GM1/POPC (full squares), GM1/POPC/cholesterol (open squares), or GM1/SM (open triangles) monolayers. Each experiment was performed in triplicate and one representative curve is shown (S.D. <10%).
